Egyptian court frees Israeli arrested at Taba
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAn Egyptian court orders the release of an Israeli contractor arrested at the Taba border crossing with dozens of bullets in his possession.
Fuad Kiser, 40, from northern Israel, was arrested 18 days ago by Egyptian border police as he and his family were returning to Israel at the end of a vacation, Ynet reports. His wife and two children were forced to continue into Israel without him.
Kiser denies the ammunition was his and claims someone placed it in his car.
Amal Kiser, Fuad’s wife, contacted Deputy Minister Ayoub Kara upon her return, asking for help in freeing her husband. Two days later, Kara called her to say the Egyptians had accepted Fuad’s version of events and were not going to extend his detention.
